How To: Set Your Saddle Height

[@pizzaboythejedi2968]

Probably one of the shortest but most comprehensive videos on the subject. I feel confident doing this myself now. Thank you!!!

[@OlyMar83]

This is the least technical video about this topic I’ve watched on KZbin, however I’ve found it’s the most useful haha

[@raygomez6212]

Just got my new Marlin 6, and this video is really helpful for perfect seat adjustment!

[@dragonlover8285]

Bro same exact bike, first trail bike and I was new so the worker suggested the size I got (I think L) and I said "I can't even touch the ground" he was like yeah dunny

[@robertcabral1366]

Thanks for the great video 👍😎. It's straight forward and to the point ✒. I had issues with the saddle being to low. Following your video, I heighten the saddle and now I'm very comfortable riding. Thanks 👍😎

[@janetjones6658]

This video is so informative 👏 👌 🙌 So useful, I got a bike yesterday and never ever have I ride a bike. At 37. So happy right now

[@saadmanomarsiddique]

Go, my man!

[@Lolimaster]

The only bad thing is that for city riding its better to have more of the feet in contact with the ground. Really helps to minimize injuries if fall for any reason (except being hit).

[@brianworden7022]

Yeah, I would rather be able to fully touch the ground when stopped.

[@autumngalix4616]

Same.

[@Charlie_DF7]

Thanks for the help. My saddle height was too low and my thighs were f***ed up

[@jimdent351]

I just got my new Trek FX-4 and this video helped tremendously.

My bike is probably a good height but I can’t really touch the ground unless I go very high on my toes

Is there a video on how to adjust the seat angle/tilt?

[@2137xd]

Just make it level

[@rw_golf6387]

So if that is all there is to it why is it adjustable?

[@markblanck991]

What an excellent video

[@dilbobaggins4878]

Thanks man 👌🏻

Thanks

[@jamesmartin3533]

Thanks for showing me this I had my foot flat on the ground not my tippy toes

[@Ali-lz6ih]

Can someone help me the bike I got doesn’t have any bolt to tighten where the seat post goes to the bike so I can’t tighten it

[@redblade8160]

My only concern is will the seatpost pierce through the saddle one day and bugger me?

[@Big_Boss92]

You need help bro

[@ivanvelez7668]

hi there quick question. If i raise my saddle higher, do I have to raise my handlebar as well? I just recently gotten a 2022 Trek FX 2 Disc.

back-pedaling with heels on pedals? I think it's the easiest method

Agree one more the size of your bike in accordance with your height

[@aubriaubbie848]

Is it supposed to come with the bike those key things

[@عبدالرحمنابوعمارة-ث3ض]

I did it but when i went outside to try my bicycle i went as fast as i could and i could'nt belive it i go faster then before but when i tried to turn i lost control and i hit the neighbours car and broke the back lights and felt on my shoulder and now it hurts me as hell Thanks any way Forgive me for my english its not my firts language

[@getsmoked7735]

[@rw_golf6387]

What about the pitch of the seat?

[@abmulhim]

How to get off the bike if only my heels touch the ground? Do I have to lean on one side?

[@sdqsdq6274]

dont know man, prefer lower in case the stupid bike slips, at least the foot has proper footing when it happens

[@enoswilliam1]

I’m 5’10” What size should I get?

[@SakuraandSesshomaru]

Actually I am comfy when my feet are flat against the ground.

[@shiftintohigh5564]

DS???👍👍😎 Good stuff!!

[@wolfsquared]

Either im too tall or bike to short. Seat at max height my legs are still bent at bottom.

[@aventurajohn1988]

I have a marlin 6 and the seat won’t go down , do I need to cut the metal a lil bit ?

[@salvadorpadilla1978]

Yes

[@SinOfLustAMV]

I am short (5'2") and thats literally lets me either paddle properly or reach the ground while sitting... need help

[@Big_Boss92]

I adjusted my saddle and i go faster and more comfortable on my new trek fx3. But i have i bit of an annoying creak coming from the seat post now - how do i fix that?

[@trekbikes]

If you have a creak coming from your seatpost, try removing the post and applying assembly grease to the seat tube!

[@Big_Boss92]

@@trekbikes hi i didn't have any grease as i am new to cycling. I took it into my local Trek dealer and they couldn't solve the issue. So I left the bike with them to identify the sound and they found something wrong with the rear wheel and replaced it under warranty. Bike is barely 2 months old and surprised something went wrong already considering I keep this bike in mint condition.

[@getsmoked7735]

@@Big_Boss92 they prolly just said that to charge something

[@Big_Boss92]

[@amymorrison2655]

What if the seat is too high, but won't go any lower? I have a Marlin 4. Do you recommend cutting the post?

[@trekbikes]

You can cut standard seatposts if the saddle needs to go lower than what the post allows!

My wrist hurt when i ride on the dualsport 2. I think i need to play with the saddle height a little more? Do gloves help with the wrists?

[@0741921]

Yes, gloves can help absorb vibrations and in return help the wrists

[@SB-tg6mn]

How do you adjust the angle of the seat?

[@ondrejmanych5688]

just make it perfectly level and make small adjustments based on your comfort while riding.

[@sokroun1966]

How much?

[@VantagePoint2]

When is the new Roscoe coming out!?

[@trekbikes]

[@davewright8206]

no fore and aft? 🤷

[@000MACK000]

I don't feel comfortable if I can't put my feet flat on the ground I don't feel safe sitting that high can only touch tippy toes That's ridiculous and unsafe.

[@johnstack5008]

You are supposed to slide yourself forward off the seat when stopped. Practice doing that until you feel comfortable.

[@wT_Nomad]

Then you shouldn’t be riding a bike

[@yukiko_5051]

Ride motorcycles instead. You're safe when you stop, but a lot more dangerous when riding 😂

[@FreestyleSkier]

GET A DROPPER FOLKS

[@namdude0373]

A dropper on a FX bike would be something else haha

[@FreestyleSkier]

Casey Sanders hahah your correct

[@ondrejmanych5688]

dropper post is one of the best new inventions on bikes. I got it few months back and I love it.

[@MM-uj4th]

.... so this is only applicable if you have all those specialized tools .... what about just the everyday person, who doesn't have all those tools what do they do? Lol

[@DUNGSTA]

Go buy the tools duh

[@codybrown5408]

Hex keys are not specialized tools. Most ikea furniture comes with a 4mm hex key. You most likely have one laying around in a drawer somewhere. Torque wrenches are a little less common but still a really cheap easy to find hand tool.

[@justinekurt29]

But I'm short 😐
